42 GOATS VICIOUSLY KILLED

42 GOATS VICIOUSLY KILLED

A 57-year-old farmer and his 24-year-old son appeared at the
Standerton Magistrate’s Court on charges of malicious damage to property and
cruelty to animals yesterday. Their arrest followed after they killed 42 goats,
belonging to another local man, that were reportedly grazing on their farm.

It is reported that the suspects spotted the herd grazing on their
farm and allegedly shot three of the goats before deciding to use their two
bakkies to run over the rest of the herd, ruthlessly killing them.

The Public Prosecutor has informed our Farm Animal Protection Unit
that an out of court settlement has been reached. We are
outraged that these animals did not get the deserved justice. We
will not leave this and will lay charges of animal cruelty ourselves.
